  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Heidi Shelton as 
woman of the year. She is a caring community advocate with a passion 
for providing resources to those in need. As the co-owner of NorCal 
Assets Solutions, a business founded, owned, and operated by women, Ms. 
Shelton is integral to providing seniors and families of the Yuba-
Sutter area with information about a range of services, from Medicare 
planning and long-term care alternatives, to PG&E's Medical program, 
and safe retirement planning. Always willing to lend a helping hand, 
Ms. Shelton's history of service includes involvement with community 
groups such as United Way, the Alzheimer's Association, the Alliance 
for Hispanic Advancement, and the Salvation Army. She has also worked 
with 14 Forward, an organization that seeks to assist the homeless with 
temporary housing and can be seen regularly leading a variety of free 
workshops throughout the community. As a result of her diligent work 
and demonstrated ability, she has been a frequent recipient of awards 
for her service and ability to elicit effective outcomes for the 
seniors who seek out her expertise. Throughout her many years of 
service, Ms. Shelton has aided the people of Sutter County with 
fairness and dedication, proving her willingness and ability to provide 
quality and exceptional service.
